Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Sentry report for METAMASK-XGXH and trace the AuthenticationController path that produces the failed-authentication error. Determine why the value used for mnemonic is undefined, then verify that authentication no longer raises this error and add or update coverage if the relevant test location is found.
